Promise Mudzingwa

Promise Mudzingwa is stage manager, designer, director and killer storyteller. Graduating from a Bachelor of Dramatic Arts degree (Majoring in Theatre Practice) at Excelsia College, she received training in stage management by Mary Benn, a nationally known stage manager, and Georgiane Deal, the stage manager of Tina Turner the Musical. Promise also completed a stage management internship with Bell Shakespeare, working on the touring success, MACBETH, presented at the Sydney Opera House (2023). Although she is a stage manager by trade, she has taken on drama teaching at Stage School Australia, preparing the next generation of actors. As a creative practitioner, she is Melbourne/Tasmania based, and continues to be prepared for new adventures.

The theatre season I am proposing is titled “Forbidden Fruit” consisting of 3 theatre productions with the addition of networking events. The season aims to focus on the stories of reclaiming power through unconventional methods and hidden meanings within the themes. The shows included will be ‘The Mares’ by Kate Mulvany, ‘Black Medea’ by Wesley Enoch, and ‘BOY CALLED FLAG’ by David Brown, as they all share and provide themes of gaining power with a forbidden approach.
